Fox Island Scouts
Lead Memorial Day Flag Ceremony

The
Cub Scouts of Fox Island's Pack 202 and Girl Scout Troops 290 and 1106
participated in the annual Memorial Day service
at the Fox Island cemetery on Monday, May 30th, 2005.

The service is put on each year by the Fox
Island Historical Society, and honors
Fox Island's war veterans.

The scouts performed the flag ceremony and led the
pledge of allegiance. Hannah Jay of the Fox Island Historical Society
presented the other participants, which included a short prayer led by
Pastor BJ Beau, and Reverend Lowell Torgerson recited the Cootiette's
prayer.

The event concluded with the
reading of a list of Fox Island war veterans dating from the Civil War,
to present time; and Charles Stephensled the
singing of the Star Spangled Banner.

If so, then the Fox Island Historical Museum would like to
meet you. The museum has added a 1440 square foot addition to its
present building. Why, you may ask? The artifacts are so numerous
that they are stacked on top of each other. The museum has outgrown its
present space.

We have a veritable treasure trove of items that were either
used or donated by Fox Island and the Peninsula area residents. Also
included in the addition will be a hands-on children's museum, complete with
activities for all of our smaller guests.

The purpose of the Museum is to display artifacts used by
people here on the Island to illustrate the changes in life styles through the years.
There are more than 3000 artifacts on display in Dioramas, Showcases, and free
standing exhibits. Among them is a display describing the life of Dr. Dixy Lee Ray,
former Governor, the largest collection of pulley blocks in the State, and several antique
gasoline engines in working order.

Museum hours are 1-4
PMWednesdays, Saturday
& Sundays. Arrangements for special tours can be arranged by calling
Karen Kretschmer at 253-514-5884.
